Ethan Bodnar, 17, Lands Book Contract

Ethan Bodnar is the youngest person I have interviewed for the SAP Global Survey so far. He's 17, lives in Connecticut and aspires to study design in an art college next year. I  immensely enjoyed meeting him for the first time for a few minutes last week in Boston. I often discuss him in my public talks on the SAP Survey because he's the one who made it clear how reluctant many members of the emerging generation are to work for an employer who will not trust them to blog.

Ethan has just announced he has received a publisher's proposal to publish Grab Bag his project-turned-book.  According to Ethan, it will feature 100 artists, be around 200 pages long, and will come out in Spring 2009. Each artists will have two images in the book(one of the creative task and one from there current field of work), a biography, and a short paragraph detailing their experience with the
creative task.

I have a lot of friends who are writing books. Ethan is the youngest, however, and I think it is a great idea that shows the collaborative disposition that also comes out so well in his fine blog.

People who gets into business are getting younger and younger these days. Best to start young anyway.
